Mill Town Cafe owner loses battle with cancer

Bonnie Homan, owner of Mill Town Cafe, died Sunday after a battle with cancer.

Mike and Bonnie Homan bought the cafe, 803 Klaus St., 19 years ago.

Bonnie Homan suffered from multiple myeloma, a blood cell cancer, and received a bone marrow transplant in late December. Members of International Association of Fire Fighters Local 141 took over operation of the cafe on the day Homan had her transplant in Milwaukee so family members could be with her.

The cafe is closed this week. It will reopen on Jan. 14.

A funeral Mass is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday at St. Francis Xavier Cathederal, 139 S. Madison St. A full obitiuary is available at http://tinyurl.com/atcobsy.
